- Daring Greatly, Made Practical
Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly argues that vulnerability — showing up without guarantees — is the birthplace of courage, connection, and creativity, not a weakness to hide.

Daring Greatly, Made Practical - The Stockdale Paradox, Made Practical
The Stockdale Paradox — named by Jim Collins after Admiral James Stockdale, who survived seven years as a POW in Vietnam — describes the disciplined combination of two seemingly opposed stances: an unwavering belief that you will ultimately prevail, held simultaneously with a clear-eyed confrontation with the most brutal facts of your current reality. Collins found this combination distinguished great companies that recovered from crisis from those that did not. - Add the reserve clause to every significant action
Act fully — "I will do X, fate permitting" — holding the intention tightly and the outcome loosely.
The Stoic Discipline of Action - Apply the Stockdale Paradox to teams and leadership
As a leader or team member under pressure, model the simultaneous holding of faith and brutal facts — it is contagious in both directions.
